Mr. Sokpee was very knowledgeable, providing thorough and insightful background on the design of all the temples we visited, as well as some of restoration efforts that continue to this day. In between temples we also learned about the lives and practices of the average citizen. He also pointed out photo opportunities and helped with taking them as well. I felt we covered a lot of ground, learned a ton, and got some great pictures to remember this tour by.

The tour was great - we had Mr Sok Chea as our tour guide and he was truly amazing!! He was extremely knowledgable and made our experience visiting Angkor Wat so much better, especially since we only had 1 day to see everything. He and our driver constantly provided us with cold towels and water throughout the day and the lunch spot we stopped at was lovely. Mr Sok Chea went above and beyond to make our experience as smooth as possible, including giving us other helpful tips and advice about our visit to Cambodia. He also knew all the best photo spots and took some really great photos. Angkor Wat is a must-see and I would recommend our tour guide too he was 10/10!

Full description

Travel back to the 12th-century Khmer Empire and explore the magnificent monuments of Angkor Wat, where the temple complex tells the Hindu and Buddhist history of the ancient city. Cross the moat and marvel at the towering outer wall. Wander along the rectangular galleries and get up close to the bas-reliefs carved into the sandstone walls. Continue to Angkor Thom to explore the last capital city of the Khmer Empire. Admire the stone figures that greet you at the southern gates, and then stroll towards the Bayon temple to admire its upper terrace and the etchings of smiling faces at its central peak. Visit the Terrace of the Leper King and Terrace of the Elephants. Enjoy lunch at your own expense before visiting the iconic temple of Ta Prohm, world-famous for the remains of temples with trees growing out of the ruins. Watch the sunset at the Bakheng temple before getting dropped off at your hotel in Siem Reap.
